TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - March 18, 2014) - SustainCo Inc. (the "Company" or "SustainCo") (TSX VENTURE:SMS), through its wholly owned Clean Energy Developments group, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Cennatek Bioanaytical Services Inc. ("CENNATEK") to provide a loan instrument of up to $500,000 towards the development of its brand of BioLiNE® biomass projects. BioLiNE converts agricultural waste and marginal vegetation such as cattail into liquid fertilizer and high quality biomass fibre.

"This investment is more than securing access to capital; for CENNATEK it is about building a relationship with SustainCo, a management team that shares our vision, and has the knowledge and capacity necessary to facilitate the dissemination of our BioLiNE process," stressed Mohammad Rahbari, President of CENNATEK.

SustainCo secures several key conditions in the agreement, including providing SustainCo with a 5% earned equity interest in CENNATEK, as well as SustainCo securing the right of first refusal to provide development solutions and services that includes engineering, project management, comprehensive site energy work, and operations and maintenance work required for all of CENNATEK's projects. From a financing perspective, SustainCo secures an additional right of first refusal to invest in each project at project finance.

CENNATEK has an active list of BioLiNE biomass projects in development.

"This investment is our first step to becoming a vertically integrated leader in the full stage development of sustainable solutions. We believe that partnering with Cennatek, a group that shares our vision for sustainable development, creates a strong partnership for the long term development of biomass Facilities. For SustainCo we are deploying strategic capital that will lead to the future development of multiple biomass facilities where SustainCo can become the designer, developer, and long term servicer of these facilities through our Solutions and Services group," stated Emlyn David, CEO of SustainCo.
